[C]Always[G] this winter c[C]hild,
December's [Dm]sun sits [G7]low against the [C]sky
[Am]Cold l[B]ight on frozen f[Am]ields,
The cattle in their s[D]table l[G]owing.
When t[C]wo walked[G] this winter [C]road,
Ten thousand [Dm]miles seemed [G7]nothing to us t[C]hen,
[Am]one w[B]alks with heavy t[Am]read
The space between their [D]footsteps s[G4]lowi[G]ng
[G]All day the snow did [A7]fall,
What's left of the day is close drawn [Dm]in,
I speak your [C]name as if you'd a[A]nswer [A7]me,
But the s[F]ilence of the snow is dea[C]fening
[F]How well do I recall our [G]arguments,
Our l[C]ogic owed no debts or [F]recompense,
Phi[Dm]losophy and faith were g[G7]hosts that we would chase until
The gates of h[C]eaven [D]were [D7]brok[G]en
[C]But something makes me turn, I [G]don't know,
To s[Cm]ee another's footsteps [G]there in the snow,
I smile to mys[F]elf and then I wonder why it [Dm]is
You only cross my [G]mind in [G7]winte[C]r
